Editorial Review for Tampa International Airport – by Lesley Balla

Overview
Tampa International Airport (TPA) is laid out in a wheel-and-spoke design with four concourses linked to the main terminal. A shuttle system gets you from any concourse to the main terminal where you'll find shops, restaurants and travel services. Twenty-five airlines serve TPA including American, Delta and US Airways with domestic and international flights.

Facts
Business services are available at the on-site Marriott Hotel: Computer workstations with internet access, photocopiers, fax machines and shipping aids are available. Grab a bite to eat at the Wharf Seafood restaurant, T.G.I. Friday's, Starbucks or C.K.'s, the revolving rooftop restaurant at the Marriott. Shop for books, sunglasses, games and perfumes in the renovated shopping mall. There are several smoking rooms in the airport for cigarette hounds, a 24-hour chapel for the spiritual and a massage therapist at the Airport Barber Shop for the stressed.

User Reviews for Tampa International Airport

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

One of the BEST and EASIEST airports in the U.S. Easy access from Clearwater, St. Pete, Tampa, and Lakeland. Restaurants are very good. Quick time from ticketing to gates. In airport smoking areas at all gate concourses. (completely separate, enclosed areas ~ well ventilated)

Pros: Easy access, Comfortable gate area

Cons: Expensive parking

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Having lived for several years in Tampa, and having flown to (and through) that airport several times since, I have to say TPA has to be one of the most organized & convenient layouts of any airport in the country. Good food, pretty relaxing surroundings (for an airport), easy to navigate, and just a short drive to downtown. What more can I say?

Pros: Good parking, Easy to navigate, Close to downtown
